Figure of a maiko (apprentice geisha) captured in a poised, graceful stance, adorned in a furisode, the long-sleeved kimono traditionally worn by young unmarried women. The doll’s hands and neck are modestly veiled in fine silk, consistent with the aesthetics of silk-faced ningyō craftsmanship. The figure wears elevated zori (footwear) and is adorned with an elaborate floral kanzashi (hair ornament). Presented on a lacquered stand.
